Nice pictures, @fanncy0626 ! Tuesday evening I did Bench w/u; 3x85; 3x85; 3x90 Row 10x70; 10x70; 8x75 (apparently I was supposed to do a set of 6 but I totally missed it) Ohp 12x45; 12x45; 9x50 (was supposed to be 10 reps grumble grumble); 8x50 Lat pulldown 12, 12, 10, 8 Tonight I did Squat w/u; 3x115; 2x115 My hips came…

Today i jogged for 30 minutes and then tonight was: Squat w/u; 3x105; 3x110; 3x115 Pause deadlift 2x6x115 Glute bridge 3x10x135 Front squat 3x5x65 I have been annoyed with my squat form for a long time but I am finally feeling like it has been getting so much better. The program I am on now progresses a bit slow so it's…

Today was Bench w/u; 3x6x90 Row 3x6x75 OHP 3x6x55 Lat pulldown 3x6 Bench has been feeling pretty good lately so I am happy about that. My husband has to help me unrack it now though. I don't know what the problem was but I couldn't seem to get the bar off the rack by myself but had no issues actually benching. Weird.
-
Today my program had me only do one set of squats and one set of a deadlift variation with warmups and no accessories after. It was weird getting done so quickly but I guess it is nice to have days like that sometimes. I was getting a headache before lifting anyway so it's probably good that I didn't do much. Squat w/u;…

30 minutes today. It was nice and cool at 54 degrees this morning and my heart rate was loving it. I cannot wait for fall!
-
This week has me only doing the core exercises of the program and no accessories so Monday I did: Squat w/u; 3x6x105 Deadlift w/u; 4x150; 6x150 Tonight was: Bench w/u; 3x6x85 Row 3x6x75 Ohp 3x6x55 Lat pull down 3x6 I'm feeling pretty happy with my form and performance so far this week so I'm crossing my fingers it…

@skippygirlsmom Skip is definitely awesome! :) 45 minutes for me today. My quads were still a bit sore from squats and deadlifts on Monday but I got it done. I have a goal in mind that I would like to meet by January and if I get close enough to it then I am going to reward myself by signing up for a half marathon in June…

30 more minutes. My kids started 100 Mile Club at school today and I am running with my 5 year old but I don't think I am going to log any of that because it kind of is just run when she wants but mostly walking so far. I love that their school does this for them though. In other news, I am still loving my shoes. I did not…

Yesterday was Bench w/u; 10x75; 8x80; 8x85 Row 10x65; 8x70; 8x70 Ohp 10x45; 8x50; 6x55 Lat pull down 10, 8, 6 I'm pretty pleased with how well 8 reps at 85# has been going. I am really hoping to set a pr with 100 for 3 reps at the end of this cycle so fingers crossed everything keeps going well.
-
After Wednesday's run I was feeling really discouraged about how running just hasn't been feeling right lately. I was feeling some heel discomfort when I was just walking around yesterday so I decided to go to the running shoe store and see if maybe my gait had changed or something and maybe it has been my shoes that have…
-
I was feeling tired today so I did no optional exercises and stuck with: Squat w/u; 7x100; 5x3x90 with 60 sec rests Pause deadlift 3x8x105 I am really pleased with my form today and am looking forward to start pushing the weight on squats up a bit the next 3 weeks.
-
Tonight I did: Bench w/u; 10x75; 8x80; 8x85 Row 10x65; 8x70; 8x70 OHP 10x45; 8x50; 6x55 Lat pull down 10, 8, 6 Push-up 3x10 Bench dip 3x10

My only goal for this month is to stick with my calories. I have some lifting numbers that I would really like to hit but I am trying to put my deficit above all that. I started losing weight a bit over 2.5 years ago and I need to just get it done.
-
I think I missed posting Saturday's workout which was: Bench w/u; 10x80 Row 10x65; 8x70; 6x75 OHP 12x45; 12x45; 10x45; 8x50 Lat pull down 12,12,10,8 Push-ups 3x10 Bench dips 3x10 Today was: Squat w/u; 8x95; 5x3x100 w 60sec rest Pause deadlift 3x8x105 Glute bridge 3x10x135 Nothing exciting.
-
Yesterday felt like a good day. I went for a 30 minute jog in the morning and last night I did: Squat 4x8x85 Sumo deadlift 2x8x120 Hip thrust 3x10x120 Ab wheel 3x10 My form on squats looked good so yay on that. I found out that I seem to have a long torso but short arms so that may be why I struggle with conventional…

@9voice9 I am so glad you are ok. Yikes!! Adding 30 easy minutes today. I am starting to feel ridiculous posting here because I have been running consistently for about a year now with that bit of time off during the summer for my stress fracture but I feel like I am going nowhere. Ok, pity party over. Sorry!

Tonight was Bench 10x50,10x70,8x75,6x80 Row 10x65,10x65,8x70,6x75 Ohp 12x45,12x45,10x45,8x45 Lat pull down 12,12,10,8 I do not like sets of 12 on OHP. I am trying to think of dreamy shoulders to get through it. Maybe someday I will add weights to those sets. The bar is enough for me right now though.

Trying something new. Monday was: Squat 5x45, 5x45, 5x60, 3x70, 2x85, 4x6x95 Deadlift 5x65, 5x90, 3x115, 2x6x135 Glute bridge 3x10x135 Front squat 3x5x60 Tuesday was: Bench 5x45,5x45,10x50,10x70,8x75,6x80 Row 10x65,10x65,8x70,6x75 Ohp 12x45,12x45,10x45,8x45 Lat pull down 12,12,10,8 Push up 3x10 Bench dip 3x10

I went out for a run on Monday and my leg started giving me problems and I didn't even make it a mile before I stopped. I wasn't sure that I would even be able to join in for the challenge this month but I went out this morning and had a really great run. My goal this month is going to be to run for 390 min. Hopefully it…

Today was Squat 5x45,55; 3x70; 5x75,85,95 Ohp 5x45,45,50,60 Deadlift 5x65; 3x90; 5x105,120; 8x135 Pause deadlift 3x3x105 Hip thrust 3x10x125 Ab wheel 3x10 I think my form on squats has definitely been improving. I maybe have my hips come up a little bit fast but definitely not as much as I used to. I will probably post a…

Last night was Squat 5x45,55; 3x70; 5x75,85,95 Bench 5x45,50,;3x60;5x65,75; 6x85 Pause bench 3x5x65 Row 2x5x65; 5x75 Push-up 3x10 Nothing exciting. Frustrated that I only got 6 for my last set of bench. My strength just sucks right now!

8/26 2.05 miles

Nothing exciting here. Just adding 3.02 miles. I am running for time again instead of miles since I cannot seem to make up my mind.
-
Yesterday was: Squat 5x55,65,80,90; 3x105; 8x80 Bench 5x50,60,70,85; 2x95 (supposed to get 3); 8x70 Row 3x5x65; 5x70; 3x85; 8x65 I have now failed on deadlifts, OHP, and bench so I am going back to 531. I wanted to stick it out for the whole 12 weeks for Madcow but I really don't think it is doing me any good except for…
-
I am going to miss my already sad goal for this month. I had a grad school group project due this week that kind of just took over everything I had planned for the week. I was finally able to get out for three miles this morning though and it was nice to relieve some stress. I guess my biggest goal for the month was to run…
-
I tried to vindicate myself today since I had only gotten 1 rep at 160 for deadlifts last week when I was supposed to get 5 and I had gotten 5 at 155 without much difficulty the week before. I only got 2 today. Ugh! I'll try again next week and then deload I guess. I am so frustrated! Squat 5x55,65,80,80 OHP 5x45,50,55;…
-
I have just been feeling blah lately so I don't think I updated last week at all. Wednesday's workout went fine but Friday's deadlifts went horribly. The week before I had done 155#x5 and it didn't really feel all that hard. I was supposed to do 160x5 on Friday and I got 1. I just could not get it off the floor. Ugh!!!…
-
I am having an awful flare up of some autoimmune inflammation problems I have so I pretty much had to fight my body to keep going the whole time but I got my 2 miles in. I'm trying to remember that keeping my routine helps me feel better than I would just sitting around so I need to keep going. :) It's probably silly that…
-
@skippygirlsmom Happy Birthday!! I didn't think that I could run any slower than I have been but I did for two miles today. It was worth it to run with my 5 and 7 year olds though. It makes me happy that they want to go with me. I am really trying to encourage them to find an activity they enjoy to keep them active and to…
